JAMMU, Jan 14: A Hindi play ‘Aadhi Raat Ke Baad’ was staged by the Natrang under Sunday Theatre series here today.
The play is written by Dr. Shankar Shesh and directed by Mohd. Yaseen.
The play is a captivating play where a thief attempts a theft at the house of a judge and dramatically solves a murder mystery of a journalist as he is the eye witness to it. The play begins with a thief entering into judge’s house. The thief is on the run, as a rich builder whom he wants to expose is after his life.
Surprisingly the thief wants the judge to hand him over to the police, as he would feel safer in a prison than he does when he is free. In a very interesting manner, a law breaker and law maker remain engaged in series of dialogues about several issues which appear to be random but had an obvious relevance.
During their discussion, the thief narrates the murder of a journalist and discloses that it was not a road accident, but the murder. The play ‘Aadhi Raat Ke Baad’ is a collage of reality and choices. The play was well presented and the audience also loved the play. Shankar Shesh’s wonderful writing style made the dialogues stronger, beautiful and immensely meaningful.
Brijesh Avtar Sharma as ‘Judge’ and Sushant Singh Charak as ‘Thief’ played their respective characters very impressively and complemented each other in contrasting roles.
Abhinav Sharma as ‘Neighbour’ was also praiseworthy as he could mark his presence despite having just a few lines to speak.
The light and sound, which elevated the impact of the play manifolds were brilliantly designed and operated by Vishal Sharma and Kushal Bhat respectively.
The show was coordinated by Gopi Sharma and the presentations were done by Palshin Dutta.
